Zusammenfassung:An embodiment of the present invention is a technique for thermal sensing. A sensing structure generates a response according to a local temperature at a first location on a die. A sensor core coupled to the sensing structure via routing lines to provide a measurement of the local temperature from the response. The sensor core is located at a second location remote to the first location and is powered by an analog supply voltage source located in a vicinity of the second location.
